>>16000906That's the problem. It's very difficult to pull off consistent selling of the limb damage, especially in today's hyperactive matches. It's typically rendered null and void by the time the babyface makes his heroic comeback. Why even bother by then?
It can work obviously, but it requires a lot of focus. I think Punk/Orton at Mania pulled it off very well, since it played into the finish, and Punk kept the crowd going with good heel antics during the ''stalling'' section of the match.
